Part 1 B

This is a good example of the Great Depression because it shows how much black people had to work over white people. Well the white people mostly owned black people and in this picture they are getting cotton and that was there main job back then. Also, the picture shows that no matter what age you were, black people were forced to work for whites.
Part 2 A
I see a group of colored people dressed all nice and maybe they're a family. Also a bunch of cars in the background of the photo. What i notice first is how fancy these people are dressed. The people are a group of friends and family and the objects our cars, hats, dresses, suits, and purses. They're arranged with women in the middle and the men are on the outside. The physical setting looks like it's cold out since they're dressed so warm. Other details are that they look pretty rich for colored people because they were usually never able to make money. A camera was used to make this image. I wonder what was happening? I wonder where it took place? I wonder who took the picture? I wonder what the people were thinking?
In this picture I see a huge line of men trying to get free food because they're unemployed. What i notice first is the sign that says "Free Coffee & Doughnuts For the Unemployed." The people are a bunch of men and the objects are hats, suits, signs, and buildings. They are arranged so it looks like they're trying to feed themselves and their families so that they don't die and looks like many men are unemployed from The Great Depression. The physical setting looks like it doesn't look like a great day for the weather, for example, it's cloudy and cold. The image was take by a camera. I wonder who took this picture? I wonder what is was like being unemployed? I wonder where this was?
In this picture you can see a boy getting a drink of water from a water fountain that is only used for colored people. What i notice first is the sign that says "Colored." The people is a colored boy and the objects are a sign, water fountain, an Estate House, road with cars, and trees. It's arranged so that it looks like people are racist separating the colored and whites fro where they go, for example, they have where colored people drink water and where white people go. The physical setting is that it looks really bad for where he goes to drink and it shows how he isn't allowed in the house to get a drink because he probably works for white people. I wonder who took the picture? Where did it take place? How did the boy feel?
Part 2 B
In this picture I see a sign for a Church and then in the background is a building with a cross on the roof. What i notice first is the cross on the roof of the roof telling me instantly that it was a Church. The objects that are shown in this picture is a sign, trees, building, a cross, a pathway for cars. It's arranged so that it shows how important religion was to people back then and they would pray a lot during The great Depression probably wanting to survive through all of this. The physical setting is that it looks like a house that can't fit many people and looks like it's in the middle of nowhere.The words I see are on a sign talking about the church dates etc. I wonder who took the picture? I wonder where they were? What did it look like inside?
In this picture I see people going through their daily lives like going into town to run errands. The first thing I notice is how big the town is with all the cars that are there and how far the street is and it keeps going back. The people in the picture is a man walking across the street and people walking on the sidewalk and others going into the store. The objects are cars, road, buildings, and signs. It's arranged so that it looks like people are busy going through their normal day. Words I see is a sign for Coca-Cola. I wonder who took the picture. Where the picture was taken? What was the daily routine of a person in that time? What did the stores look like inside?
In this picture I see a farm that's growing crops and houses in the background. The first thing I notice is the crops that are being grown. The objects shown in this picture are crops, plowed fields, houses, and trees. It's arranged so that it looks like a normal farm where colored people work and the white people live in their huge Estate from buying land. The physical setting is that it's the summer time where crops are growing and the sun is out with the land being plowed. Other details I can see is that the little houses are probably where the black people live because the white people don't usually treat them with respect. I wonder who took the picture? Where the picture was taken? What the land looks like? What did the houses look like inside?
Part 3 A
In this time period these people were hard working and dedicated to what they do. As you can see in Mrs. Marie Haggerty's interview, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/8a.wav , she had dedication to her job as a maid, but she wasn't just an ordinary maid she was also a nurse. Being a maid isn't just that there's more to it because she was even tested by her owners to see if she would take the $5 bill or not. Also Mr. Garavelli, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/1a.wav , his job was very important to him by working in the stonesheds even though his life was at stake by silica. Who would do such a thing? He would only do it because he was devoted to his work even though he could die and was paid horribly, but in the interview he said he always made sure that his side was clean. Another man who put his life at risk was Chris Thorsten, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/3a.wav , being an iron worker. He said that you can't be an iron worker unless your killed. He says that many men get hurt on the job and putting your life out there means that you would keep your job that you love. Even though he got himself hurt he still wanted to go back to his job, but was put on rest after four years. In Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller's interview, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/9a.wav , she felt pride in herself by taking in the hog herself because mostly men only do those jobs and women don't. In the interview it sounds like Mrs. Miller does a lot of work around the house and maybe even do something unexpected. Jim Cole had a job in the packing house being a butcher, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/11.wav. He's been working in the beef kill section for twenty years and that must take a lot of work to stay at one place for a long time. He has a certain amount of skill to finish the job, but he wanted to be in the AFL union only he was black so they wouldn't let him in.
